The bonnet may be black, white
or colored straw, but the ribbon or
flowers used for its trimmings must
have some reference to the dress
with which it is worn. The prettiest
fancy braids have two colors. usually
in contrast, of the dull Gebelin
shades that are to be repeated in
cloth and cashmere and silk costumes
Cord edged, or satinfnished, or
loop edged gros grain or taffeta rib.
bons two and half inches wide are
the fashionable trimmings, either
quite plain, or checked, barred,
striped, or dotted. Velvet and satin
ribbons are less used than formerly.
Flowers in long stemraed clusters
may suffice for the entire trimming,
or may be mixed in with ribbon
loops.
The high slender bow may be of
two or even three colors of ribbon,
tied amid in long loops. The stylish
bows are quite narrow, and are built
up of two sete of loops set against
each other, extending from the front
backward, and showing broadly on
the sides, with their edges in front.
To give details, put first a tightly
strapped bow about three inches
long in front Just at the edge of the
brim, and push the loops upward al.
most together against the strap;
then place each side of this bow SIX
or seven standing loops, gradually
longer with their sides meeting. and
add two pointed ends of doubled
ribbon at the top. Pass folded
ribbon down each side to the ears
for strings, or else begin two notch
ed ends of the ribbon low on the
crown, thence going downward and
along the side edges to the from
where they form strings to be tied
by the wearer, or they may be fold
ed nearly double and made in stiff
bow.
A great deal of fine-meshed net
and also silk gauze, is use for veil
ing the entire bonnet, going up over
the high trimming, and falling thence
as wide strings, which are finished at
the ends by ribbon run through
hem and tied in long Topped bow.
To wear with the black lace dress

young ladies as with middle-ayed
ones piece of the dress lace is used
for the softly folded pointed crown
of the small poke, which is turned
out above the forehead and in the
end OF the crown also. THIS is made
youthful looking by q puff of pts
tache green velvet all along it's edg' s
near which lies in row or wreath
green fern leaves. The bow is made
of hair striped green ribbon in many
loops holding bunch of long stem
med white daisies or pinks. A long
slender amber pin is thrust through
the top, and two smaller ones pm
the lace folds at the end of TIL crown
This can be copied in point d'esprit
with old rose or tapestry blue velvet
and ribbon, and long stemmed rose
buds with maiden-hair ferns in the
front
Young ladies will also wear close
trimmed straw hats, not only with
their tailor gowns and tor travelling
but tor afternoons, with cashmeres
and with silk dresses that are to be
much more generally worn than they
have been since fine wool goods
came into favor. Such hat Of
black Milan straw has it's close brm
given a fancful appearance by being
covered with lattice galloon of fine
Jet beads, and row of tEis galloon

lace kerchief or one of lisse embroid
cred and scalloped is folded to have
